If you ask the current domestic mobile phone camp, which is the most distinctive brand? I will not hesitate to say vivo, huawei withdrew from the smart phone head camp, millet, OPPO and vivo became the 3 mainstream manufacturers of domestic mobile phones, in terms of internet brand popularity, millet has always maintained a high voice, OPPO in the online market in recent years has also returned, attention has also increased compared to the early days, but vivo in the early days by sponsoring a variety of variety shows and advertisements, brand popularity continues to rise, and in recent years vivo has taken a low-key route, There is not much variety show sponsorship, the online market will not pull out the comparison of friendly business models, and sometimes it is not even known whether vivo is releasing a new mobile phone.
However, this did not affect vivo's brand sales, and even in the Q1 quarter of 2021, vivo's shipments in the Chinese market quietly reached the top 1 position, which has a lot to do with vivo's product innovation, such as vivo's new system UI - OriginOS has made a number of innovations, X series has become the main high-end flagship product line, and the emergence of micro-PTZ technology has improved the stability of the mobile phone camera itself... In the early days of vivo's launch of the sub-brand iQOO, iQOO's marketing was still rampage, competing with friends everywhere, but now as the iQOO brand is recognized by more people, iQOO has also faded its sharp edge and taken a low-key development route.
The annual flagship mobile phone of 2022 is concentrated on the eve of the Spring Festival, the new iQOO9 series is also officially debuted on January 5, the normal conference did not mention any friendly business models, although it looks a bit boring, but the two flagships of the iQOO9 series are still good products.
iQOO9 Pro is naturally a high-end match for the whole series, and in terms of appearance color matching, it continues the legendary version of the previous generation of products and the classic black color matching, while adding a burning orange color, the overall style is very similar to vivo X70 Pro+. The front of the iQOO9 Pro is a 2K resolution flexible curved screen, using the latest Samsung E5 light material, supporting up to 120Hz refresh rate and 300Hz touch sampling rate, of course, also supports the second generation of LTPO stepless variable speed adaptive refresh rate adjustment technology that is standard at the current flagship.
Although screen fingerprint recognition is not a new solution, but iQOO is one of the few domestic manufacturers to use ultrasonic fingerprint recognition program of the brand, the new iQOO9 Pro also joined the ultrasonic fingerprint recognition technology, compared to the traditional screen fingerprint recognition, iQOO this time the use of ultrasonic 3D wide-area fingerprint recognition technology has two advantages:
1. The entry is simpler, the traditional fingerprint recognition scheme takes about 10 times when the fingerprint is first entered, and the ultrasonic 3D wide-area fingerprint recognition only needs to be fitted once to complete the fingerprint entry.
2. The fingerprint recognition area is larger, and almost 1/3 of the area under the screen can be quickly identified fingerprint unlocked.
As a brand focusing on the game experience, core performance is still the biggest advantage of the iQOO9 series, iQOO9 Pro is equipped with Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 flagship platform, in addition to the standard enhanced version of the LPDDR5, iQOO9 Pro also brought an overclocked version of the UFS3.1 flash memory chip this time, in Turbo mode can greatly improve the efficiency of sequential writing and random writing, and in order to share the GPU burden of Snapdragon 8, iQOO9 Pro is also equipped with a new independent display chip Pro In terms of heat dissipation system, iQOO9 Pro also brings a new cascading VC stereoscopic heat dissipation system, the whole program uses 18 layers of material stacking, so that the heat dissipation efficiency is higher, and the heat conduction is more uniform.
Battery life and charging are also important factors affecting the gaming experience, iQOO9 Pro supports up to 120W ultra-fast flash charge, and the factory standard with a smaller 120W Gallium nitride charger, the built-in 4700mAh battery in the fuselage to charge to 100% power takes only 19 minutes.
At the same time, iQOO9 Pro uses closed stereoscopic dual speakers, somewhat surprisingly, in addition to supporting multi-functional NFC, iQOO9 Pro also added infrared remote control function this time, although the frequency of use of these small functions is limited, but encounter the need to use the scene, the user experience is still greatly improved.
The imaging system is where iQOO has been improving in recent years, but this time the iQOO9 Pro is still a 16-megapixel selfie lens on the front, but the rear camera solution includes a 50-megapixel GN5 main camera, support for micro-PTZ technology, the other two lenses are a 50-megapixel fisheye ultra-wide-angle lens with a 150° field of view, and a 16-megapixel telephoto portrait lens that supports OIS optical image stabilization.
The price of iQOO9 Pro has come to the high-end market, the initial 8GB + 256GB version priced at 4999 yuan, but it is praiseworthy that iQOO9 Pro provides a 512GB version of larger storage, and removes the 8GB+128GB version of the chicken rib, the earliest release of the Snapdragon 8 model - moto edge X30 and the subsequent appearance of the Xiaomi 12 series have not provided a 512GB storage version, which has also become a place where many netizens mind.
The standard version of iQOO9 in the memory scheme and iQOO9 Pro, but also provides 8GB + 256GB, 12GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512GB three versions, the difference is that iQOO9 is equipped with a straight screen, but also supports 120Hz refresh rate, also uses Samsung E5 light material, and supports 1000Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate, and iQOO9 also uses a symmetrical dual X-axis linear motor for the first time. It brings a more realistic effect to the gaming vibration experience, and the iQOO9 Pro is equipped with an ordinary X-axis linear motor, which is also an advantage of the iQOO9 over the iQOO9 Pro.
In terms of imaging system, the main camera of iQOO9 is the same as that of iQOO9 Pro, while the other two lenses have been changed to a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens with a 120° field of view and a 12-megapixel portrait lens, while there is no micro-gimbal technology, but the main camera supports OIS optical image stabilization technology.
Although iQOO9 and iQOO9 Pro support the same 120W fast charging solution, but iQOO9 factory equipped with ordinary charger, while iQOO9 fingerprint recognition is not ultrasonic fingerprint solution, but the traditional screen fingerprint recognition program, iQOO9 Pro's new infrared remote control is not downgraded to iQOO9.
However, the price of iQOO9 compared to iQOO9 Pro is definitely a big advantage, starting with a version with 8GB + 256GB memory combination priced at 3999 yuan.
In addition to the two mobile phones of the iQOO9 series, the vivo WATCH2 smart watch that appeared at the end of December last year also brought a new style, adding 3 versions customized for iQOO - Journey Black, Silverstone White and Burning Orange, which are consistent with the standard vivo WATCH2 in terms of function, but in terms of the default dial style and strap color matching, corresponding to the newly released iQOO9 series of three colors, the starting price is 1249 yuan, compared to vivo The standard version of the WATCH2 is 50 yuan lower.
